Du Juan felt a surge of joy as she saw Ji Mo’s dazed expression, her face involuntarily showing a hint of smugness.
It seemed this Ji fellow wasn't all that impressive either. He was dealt with so easily, without any challenge at all.
She stretched her waist, twisting her serpentine body, and beckoned Ji Mo with a finger.
Ji Mo walked over with a blank expression.
“Du Juan’s charm techniques are truly becoming more formidable, captivating anyone with just a gesture. Truly terrifying.”
“If we had known it would be this easy, we brothers wouldn’t have had to act so hard.”
“You don’t know, Lady Du Juan has a special preference; she loves to toy with men’s emotions. This Ji Mo actually has some skill, seeing through our scheme and forcing Lady Du Juan to use her charm techniques.”
The surrounding bandits whispered amongst themselves.
Their eyes were filled with reverence for Du Juan. They knew how fearsome she was; her name suited her perfectly, for she was incredibly vicious.
Now that Ji Mo had fallen victim to Du Juan’s charm techniques, he was surely in for a terrible time.
Du Juan gazed at Ji Mo’s handsome features and couldn't help but become somewhat entranced.
Refined and handsome, his eyes like cold stars, bright and clean, exuding a faint scholarly aura, he was indeed captivating. No wonder Black Rose had taken a liking to him.
“Am I beautiful?”
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, casting a soft, watery gaze at Ji Mo.
“Beautiful…”
Ji Mo replied.
Du Juan’s eyes lit up with a smile, but the next second her smile froze, and her expression changed drastically.
Because Ji Mo continued, “Beautiful… Beautiful my foot! You old woman, with your age, still trying to act young, it’s disgusting!”
Du Juan’s entire face stiffened.
Old woman?
Acting young?
These words pierced her heart like sharp knives.
It was true, she wasn't young anymore, but due to her profound cultivation and excellent self-care, coupled with meticulous grooming and makeup, her appearance was no more than that of a young woman in her early twenties.
Now, to be called an old woman to her face and cursed as disgusting, she truly couldn't bear it. Da Feng Novel Network.
Du Juan’s face instantly turned ashen.
But what was most unbelievable to her was that her charm techniques had no effect on Ji Mo.
“How could you possibly break my charm techniques?”
Du Juan’s eyes widened. She had immense confidence in her charm techniques.
Even Emperor Realm powerhouses would fall victim if not careful. Why was this Ji Mo completely unaffected?
“Charm techniques? You, an old woman, acting coy and seductive, it’s truly an eyesore.”
Ji Mo was covered in goosebumps.
He had seen from the start that Du Juan was not young, which was why he had concluded it was a trap.
A beautiful woman pretending to be young, and a few burly men – wasn't this a typical setup for a honey trap? Therefore, Ji Mo had seen through the facade from the beginning, sensing something was amiss, and had not fallen for Du Juan’s ploy.
“I’m an eyesore? You’re infuriating me…”
Du Juan clutched her chest, so angry she could barely breathe.
Eyesore!
These three words drove Du Juan to extreme madness; her lungs were about to explode.
She considered herself a beauty of national renown, yet to be so slandered, she couldn't accept such an insult.
“It’s over. This Ji Mo is truly audacious, daring to speak to Lady Du Juan like that. His fate will surely be miserable. Let’s all move further away, lest we get splashed with blood.”
The few bandits quickly retreated, their faces filled with terror, afraid of being implicated.
They knew how terrifying Du Juan was when enraged.
As expected, the temperature in the area instantly dropped to freezing point.
An extremely powerful aura erupted, the pressure of a peak Spirit Saint sweeping in all directions.
Du Juan was now filled with murderous intent, her only thought being to tear this sharp-tongued man to shreds.
Her spiritual energy surged within her, and her fingernails instantly grew several inches, resembling the sharp claws of a beast, flashing with soul-piercing cold light.
Du Juan let out a low roar, her five fingers like hooks, lunging towards Ji Mo’s chest.
This woman was truly vicious, intending to rip out Ji Mo’s lungs and heart.
However, no one expected that the moment she got close to Ji Mo, she would be tragically kicked flying.
“You’re so vicious. After I exposed you, you became enraged and actually tried to scratch me. If not for the fact that you’re a woman, I would have taught you a good lesson.”
Ji Mo said fiercely.
Then he turned to the bandits with ill intentions and said, “What, do you guys want to make a move too?”
Clang!
Without a word, the bandits dropped their weapons, too terrified to even breathe, completely lacking the courage to attack Ji Mo.
What had they just seen? Du Juan, who had unleashed her full power, was casually knocked down with a single kick, now lying on the ground like a dead dog.
If even Du Juan’s strength could be so easily subdued, Ji Mo would probably only need a single palm strike to finish them.
This person’s strength was unimaginably terrifying!
Du Juan felt as if her entire body was about to fall apart.
Was this Ji Mo truly human?
Why did he feel like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex? The power contained in that kick was simply too terrifying.
The hunter who hunted geese all day was finally blinded by the goose!
Du Juan regretted it immensely. She shouldn’t have acted rashly without understanding the opponent’s depth.
This Ji Mo was definitely not simple; he was clearly feigning weakness to devour the strong, his schemes were too profound.
This person was an old schemer, appearing harmless on the outside, but in reality, he was a terrifying existence.
At this moment, Du Juan began to believe that perhaps Black Rose was right; such a master might indeed possess the method to awaken a special physique.
Bai Xiong, hiding in the distance and observing, felt his scalp tingle.
He had been stealthily tracking Du Juan, planning to catch the mantis stalking the cicada, with himself as the oriole. Once Du Juan obtained the method to awaken a special physique from Ji Mo, he would make his move to snatch it.
He never expected to witness such a scene.
Du Juan had no room to resist and was utterly defeated.
Bai Xiong felt incredibly fortunate. Fortunately, he hadn't rashly attacked Ji Mo, otherwise, he would be the one lying on the ground like a dead dog right now.
This Du Juan was too careless, actually trying to use such despicable means.
She didn’t use her brain to think properly. How could Ji Mo, who could effortlessly help Black Rose break through to Spirit Emperor and awaken the Star Radiance Sacred Body, be a simple character?
Now, seeing Du Juan’s predicament, Bai Xiong finally became convinced that everything Black Rose had said in the stone prison was true.
It seemed that dealing with this Ji Mo required cunning, not brute force.
Besides Bai Xiong, there were other elders of the Asura Hall hidden nearby.
Clearly, after witnessing this scene, these individuals would change their strategies and approach Ji Mo with even greater caution.
A true assassin must plan meticulously before acting to achieve victory.
When they make their move against Ji Mo, they will undoubtedly have more comprehensive strategies.
Ji Mo did not kill Du Juan. He earnestly lectured her, urging her to repent and start anew, and to never again engage in deception, fraud, or disruptive activities.
Du Juan’s eyes welled up with tears, and she made a promise to Ji Mo with immense humiliation, her heart filled with endless resentment towards him.
She secretly vowed to find an opportunity for revenge and wash away the humiliation Ji Mo had inflicted upon her today.
